Apple As Luxury Brand
Susan DeChillo | The New York Times I first met Steve Jobs in the 80s. Actually, it was at Stanford. He was there, speaking. And I was there, listening. Afterwards, I went up to introduce myself. And we went from there. I worked on the Macintosh launch and technology...

what way, found, what path, known?
I've been drawing -- painting -- things like this for some time. And, well, they're flat. There are two dimensions. The black, the white. And the space, between. And then, too, there are translations of the energetic content of the brushstroke and the drawing, that...
